Starting weight: 234

Surgery day 4/30/12: 215

One week postop: 217

I'm really not having the pounds drop off like everyone else. It super discouraging :-(

Not a good week. Probably because I'm on a full diet now. Here goes:

Last week 264

Today 5/18/12 267

Original weight 297

I'm a little disappointed but better luck next week.

Don't get discouraged! You could be not getting enough Water now that you've up your diet or it could be just your body adjusting! You'll do great I just know you will!!!

I have heard that the less you weigh on surgery day the slower it comes off! Don't get discouraged I've been at 180 for well over a month now and I've gone up to 190 and back down to 180 over that time frame! We can all do it!!!

So I weighed myself today since I didn't weigh in yesterday because I forgot!! I just knew not to do it but I was so hoping I'd loose this week! I think I did great considering I was out of town and not on my diet like I do at home I had no Protein for 3 days while I was out of town and when I got back aunt flow decided to rear her ugly face LOL!

Last week 05/11: 180.2

This week 05/18: 180.6

So I gained .4!! Not so bad just wish it was a loss not a gain! Oh well there's always next week!!

I think I need a bit of a pep talk here. I did my weigh in on Monday and I was 315 which is what I was 2 weeks ago. I'm certain I am getting my Protein in but anyone feeling stuck lately? I'm 27 days post op and down 17 pounds since surgery.

I had the same experience you are going through. I lost 18 lbs within the first 2 weeks of surgery but then plateau for about a week or two- then dropped again. I think this is quite common. I'm experiencing it again at -35lbs, I've have budged in about a week.

You've hit a plateau. Make sure you r getting all of your fluids in....your body is adjusting to your new metabolism. Try not to get discouraged and hang in there...you will be okay: )

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart! I really needed that encouragement. I'm so jealous of everyone else who has lost 20+ pounds while at the same time, I've lost 9!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
